Hello Soutrik, welcome to the community.

Try not to top-post as we favour interleaved quoting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style.

Also while I think the resource you reference above is good. I think the My First Contribution page, as suggested by Deveshi Dwivedi is a good resource to get started, after which you can get a microproject to work on and push to the mailing list to understand the review process.

Thanks Abraham.
